Daisaku Ikeda
August 18, 2023
Nichiren Daishonin asserts,
“Those who can take faith in the sutra . . .
are persons who have acquired
many blessings through actions
in the past.”(*)
With joy and appreciation in our hearts
for having encountered Buddhism,
let’s boldly engage in dialogue infused
with faith and conviction!
